This may sound like a rant but I can't help it.
HTC dialer is really bad. In fact, is so bad I wouldn't dare calling it an app. It's more like a piece of malicious code.
I've read the forum and tried to find a way to completely remove it from sense-based roms, no luck so far.
There are several problems I'd like to point out in case you're wondering why I hate the dialer so much.
1. Can't list through contacts cause it auto-dials whenever you dare to touch the list.
2. When it does that, there's no way to hangup that call cause proximity sensor won't let you.
3. There's no option to turn off the annoying haptic feedback, it won't comply with global settings.
4. There's no option to change appearance, except perhaps manually editing the apk.
5. Pulling up and down to answer or reject a call is a FAILED concept because pulling the phone out of the pocket will answer the call.
ATM I've decided to use a NON-sense based rom only because of the dialer.
I'm willing to give up on ALL HTC apps just to get rid of it.
Good riddance HtcDialer.
That's relative to the person using it.
Maybe this should go in dev, forgive me if so, I've been in the romming and rooting scene since the d1 but never really got my hands into actually editing files for myself. With that said I was wondering for the transformer if there is a way to turn off or clear the notification bar of all non running notifications easily? Disable some things like the sd card notification always being on? Have more than 5 or 6 whatever the limit seems to be down there? And maybe make a suggestion for a willing dev to try to make an almost phone style pull up notification area for all notifications..if thats even remotely possible. Probably not based on the framework? Who knows, even if it cleared the bottom and brought up a seperate window that'd be awesome. If none of that is possible, is at least getting rid of the sd card icon possible? Thanks guys.
Oh btw, I am running the latest prime 1.5 with the clem kernel. Willing to alpha/beta/flash zips etc.
Me too!
I think those are good suggestions and i'd be keep to test any solutions anyone here comes up with
Great suggestions and I completely agree. I'm sure with the right developers working on it that anything is possible. I am still waiting for full facebook integration like HTC sense has. It'd be nice to get desktop notifications from FB and Twitter etc...
You can modify the layout (xml) it yourself, Use Apk-tools 1.4.1.
Before the OTA update to 4.4 I had green android emoticons and have been very attached to them since my first Android phone, an EVO 4g. Now it seems like they've been removed for favor of the ascii characters. Does anyone know how to get them back? I switched over to cyanogenmod thinking it would bring them back, but that didn't solve it.
Any ideas? Also, why would they change this? It seems very strange to me that they would remove them and it's starting to feel like Android is losing its personality.
Stranger than that IMO, any android phone that doesn't support the new emoji and instead uses the old style causes the nexus to display just the text equivalent ( , etc) rather than an emoji...really annoying. Not sure how that was overlooked or if there's a fix....
it was my fav features on kitkat that we can set auto turn on and off by schedule even manage auto sync email etc.that features would make the battery life last longer without loosing any informations that we need such twitter,bbm,whatsapp etc.more efficient.so many apps had provide that features even without rooting required.but since on lollipop that features has gone,like really2 protected by Google.it was mention that on LP we don't allow to automatically switching data connection even when your phone have root access.here is some app called "Auto connection" they has been told that their app no longer supported on LP:
What's New
Due to a limitation introduced in the new version of Android is no longer possible to stop the connection on Android 5 (Lollipop).
my question,is there any ways to make this features back on lollipop with rooted and xposed?please someone make it happen
Hey guys,
I don't know another place to ask for this.
I have my phone since Nov...
Before I had two iPhones for five years, so I wasn't informed about Android and that there are problems with some manufacturers because they don't want to unlock the bootloader and anything else. My first smartphone was a Galaxy S and at this time it was no problem to get root and install Cyanogen. So I thought it would be the same thing this time. But this is another problem. Just a little introduction about my bad knowledge about Android. Maybe it helps to solve my problems...
I want my phone to notificate me, if it is necessary. For example when I receive a Message(WhatsApp, Telegram, you know these). But most of the time Whatsapp doesn't want to check for new messages for itself. Sometimes I receive the notification instantly. Telegram doesn't inform me most of the time. So I have to open the App to see if there are new messages, but this cannot be the way it's meant.
When I open Telegram, the LED lights up und I get the notification in my notification bar.
In another forum a possible solution was to change the energy saving settings.
So I deactived most of them for Telegram. ->mustn't automatic start is off | planned activation in background is off | deep-sleep-mode is off
Only thing that I allowed is closing the app when I lock my phone. (I hope you understand the translation of the settings.. I can only read the german name for them)
Tapatalk, Wunderlist, FB Messenger(not important, I want to delete it some day), sometimes Youtube a list of the apps where I want to receive notifications but I don't.
Another strange problem has the standard clock widget. I installed Nova Launcher and put the clock widget on the first homescreen. But it updates the time only a few times a day. I didn't find a setting to "activate" the widget, like the energy savings or something similar. Now I have a weather widget at that place and this works. I can see the correct time and weather.
I don't know why this doesn't work properly. I hope that you guys can solve my problem with your big knowledge of Android.
Thanks for reading.
